Seeing the heart; the success story of cardiac imaging.
On 29 January 1896 a large audience at the Würzburg Physical Medical Society attended a lecture and a demonstration of a new kind of ray produced by electrical discharges from an induction coil through a Hittorf–Crookes tube. The demonstrator was Wilhelm Konrad Röntgen (1845–1923), professor of physics, who, a few months earlier, had discovered in his modest laboratory in Elberfeld, that these ...
متن کاملA Brief History of Radiology
The X-ray (or the ‘new light’) was discovered quite coincidentally by Wilhelm Conrad Röntgen on 8 November 1895 in Würzburg, Germany. Röntgen, a professor of physics, conducted experiments focussing on light phenomena and other emissions generated by discharging an electrical current in a highly-evacuated glass tube (a so-called Crookes tube, named after the British investigator William Crookes...
متن کاملFirst Dental Radiograph (1896)
In 1895, the German physicist, Wilhelm Conrad Röntgen (1845-1923), who was 50 years old by then, studied cathode rays with Crookes tubes. He was more precisely concerned with the penetration of the rays through the glass. At the time, it had already been established that cathode rays could pass through the tube wall and penetrate a few centimetres in the air. In the evening of November 8, durin...
متن کاملSome Facts about X-Rays
X-rays were discovered by the German physicist W. C. Röntgen in 1895 when he accidentally noticed that fluorescent materials showed a faint glow when placed near a cathode-ray tube powered by a high voltage induction coil. Although others had observed similar phenomena earlier, Röntgen was the first one who concluded that he had found “a new kind of rays”. He called them “X-rays” (X = unknown) ...

Late into the evening of 8 November 1895 Wilhelm Conrad Röntgen, a physics professor at the University of Würzburg, made a discovery that would revolutionize science almost overnight. While conducting experiments with cathode rays in his laboratory, he remarked a peculiar glow with highly unusual properties emanating from a nearby fluorescent screen, the source of which he could not identify. T...
